KWA already has the MP7 & MP9 as well as an extensive line of H&K products. The only thing that looks odd in its abcense is a MP5 line. I thought this was one of the most wide spread weapon platforms for law enforcement agencies across the country / globe?

A GBB MP5 line of products would be nice.

From what I hear the MP5's are considered outdated and there is a transition being made from that line.

Niko is right. The real MP5 shoots the 9mm round. And certain special ops forces have deemed it incapable enough to the MP7- which fires the 4.6x30mm cartridge if I'm correct? The 4.6 has much more stopping power in a more compact package than the MP5. So going back to the airsoft world, why would KWA create a gun for law enforcement that is being phased out by others? Sure airsofters may like it, but law enforcement would barely (if any) use it.

MP7 is a better overall platform when compared to MP5, and may eventually be the PDW of the future. However, I think the problem is that what makes it better (the 4.6 cartridge) may also be its biggest drawback (it's proprietary). It will be slow to phase in the MP7 (5-10 years) with Law Enforcement agencies while the 9mm rounds are extremely common. I believe this is also one of the many reasons why the US Military is hesitant to move away from AR-15 based platforms (the commonplace of the 5.56 NATO rounds).

As far as requests, anything gas really. M14 would be cool, Maybe an SR-25 (AEG and Gas versions)?

Agreed The M14 would be a nice addition. Also If they chose to do an M14 Socom 2 with a high, mid, and low pressure bolt I would be happy to spend the cash. The M14... yup I'm looking forward to the KWA FV GBBR that can function as a DMR.

Think about the D-Boys Kar 98K replica they made. In that bolt action springer, you put all your force pushing the bolt forward to cock it- not pulling the bolt back- that was effortless. If KWA could find a good in between- that would make it feel like you have the same amount of force pulling and pushing, the action might actually trick you. But the chance of KWA making a spring gun is as close to the probability of someone finding a way to fix America's economy. (I don't mean to go into politics, just a light joke I guess)
